The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Excellent mechanical condition and interior, very good exterior condition"

For sale is my Zinno/Black 90 e30 M3, this very well cared for example has only 82k miles (that's only ~3,500 per year for the last 23 yrs!) I purchased this car from Enthusiast Auto Group, for those not familiar with EAG, they specialize in M-cars and only deal in extremely tight examples that meet the most stringent requirements, I encourage you to look at some of the other examples of what they offer and have sold in the past (website is enthusiastauto dot com; can also see the former ad for this car if you search e30 M3's and instead of "in stock" availability choose "sold", and this car is the 4th down in the list). 


Car is mechanically near perfect with no expense spared to keep it that way, I have extensive books and records (see picture below) and car has never been tracked or abused. I had a post purchase inspection done by Eurowise in Charlotte NC, which came back clean (look them up on any forum and see what others say, guys there are legit and know their M-cars very well). Car runs fantastic and I would conservatively call it a 9.5 from a mechanical perspective

Interior is very clean and extremely tight, leather is in great shape with no heavy wear spots, rips or tears. There are no dash cracks or fading, carpet is in excellent shape and car has new oem floor mats.

Exterior is in very good condition, but in full disclosure it is not in the same near show car condition as the mechanicals and interior but is still very, very good for a car that has been driven and from 5 ft it looks great (took it to cars and coffee couple weeks ago and people were drooling). The exterior does have a few small cosmetic nits here and there, none are individually very significant or unexpected for a 23yr old car that has been driven - a couple of small stone chips on the front and hood, a small hairline crack in the spoiler, and a couple of pea sized spots of paint cratering on the roof and on the black rear bumper trim, see the pics below disclosing these minor nits. For me near the near perfect interior / mechanicals and still very good exterior represented exactly what I was looking for in that it provided me with the most value as I bought the car to enjoy and drive without fear of a small stone stone chip on the highway, and even with these minor blems, the exterior condition is still better than 90+% of what is out there. 

Car represents a rare opportunity to own a low-mileage essentially perfect driver that is still in the top 10% of what's out there, or simply with a paint job you could have a show quality example in same category as the examples EAG and others have been selling in the upper 30's and even the mid 40's as of late

Way too many specifics to further list out everything that has been replaced / upgraded but have in excess of $10K in receipts. For serious inquiries please call me at 757 286 8615 to further discuss
 
Please Note: the accident that shows up via Autocheck as "minor roof damage" was related to hail damage back in '93 when the then owner made an insurance claim that shows up in the Autocheck report.

2015 BMW X3 gets a new nose, diesel power

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

The second-generation BMW X3 launched in late 2010, and while it's never really wowed us, it's still a solid offering in a highly competitive class. In an effort to keep things fresh, BMW has given its X3 a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, but perhaps the biggest news (for the US market, anyway) involves what's found underhood.
In addition to the 2.0-liter turbo-four and 3.0-liter turbo-six, BMW will now offer an X3 xDrive28d, fitted with - you guessed it - the 2.0-liter turbodiesel inline four-cylinder engine found in the 328d sedan. Output for this engine is rated at 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, and BMW says this oil-burning mill will help the X3 reach 60 miles per hour in just under eight seconds. The automaker hasn't released any information about real or predicted fuel economy figures for the diesel X3, as yet.
What's more, BMW will once again offer a two-wheel-drive X3 in the States - the sDrive28i. Pricing for the refreshed 2013 X3 starts at $39,325, not including $925 for destination. Opting for that diesel will set you back $42,825. Scroll down for the official press release, and check out a new brace of shots live from the soft-roader's Geneva Motor Show debut.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW i3 to get more range, a call for EV signage

Fri, Oct 23 2015

The BMW i3 will get more range next year, and BMW will announce another i model soon. BMW CEO Harald Kruger didn't say by how much the i3's electric range would be expanded (it currently gets 81 miles on a single charge, or 150 with the range extender). He did say that a third, yet unnamed i car would be out "soon," and that it would be larger than the i3. We've heard rumors of an i5 for years now and BMW has previously stated that a new i car would not be based on an existing model. Read more at Green Car Reports. Where is the sun visor in the Tesla Model X? With a huge panoramic glass roof, Tesla had to be pretty inventive with its design. The sun visor is tucked away in the A-pillar and held in place by a magnet. It pulls out, and swivels overhead. A magnetic peg pops out to attach the end of the visor to the rear view mirror housing. From there, it can be rotated, or one can flip out a panel to create a larger shade. The vanity mirror is hidden behind another panel inside the visor. Have a look over at Teslarati. Nissan and Ecotricity are calling on the UK government to create road signage for EV charging points. There are currently over 9,000 places for drivers to charge their electric vehicles throughout the UK, but no official signage to tell them where they are. "It's time to introduce charging point road signs in Britain," says Ecotricity founder Dale Vince. "They'll provide necessary direction for the thousands of electric car drivers in Britain as well as increasing public awareness that the infrastructure is ready for them to make the move to an electric car." Nissan and Ecotricity suggest that symbols to designate the different types of charging available would also be helpful to EV drivers. Read more at Green Car Congress, or in the press release below.

BMW i3 EV continues to shed camouflage

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

As BMW gets closer to introducing the production version of its plug-in i3, we keep seeing the hatchback being tested with lessening degrees of design-obscuring camouflage. Last we heard, BMW is expecting to have the i3 ready by the end of this year, and the swirly, blue camo does little to hide its basic design in these latest spy shots.
We get our first clear look at almost everything above the wavy beltline including the silver roof edges and matching mirror caps, and it can't hide the dip in the beltline behind the B-pillar - matching what we've already seen on the i3 Coupe Concept unveiled at the LA Auto Show last year. Another change we notice is the lower portion of camo removed from the front fascia allowing us to see the air opening and the black, vertical inserts leading up to the fog light bezels. Judging by the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers on the side of this prototype, we can only assume that this is the optional range-extended model.
